The “gender-fluid” Virginia teenager who raped a freshman girl in a girl’s bathroom while he was wearing a skirt was quietly released from a juvenile treatment center in November. On Wednesday, his 18th birthday, he was released from court supervision.
Because Buta Biberaj—Loudoun County’s George Soros-backed prosecutor—charged him as a juvenile, he will have no public conviction on his record. He will not appear on a sex offender registry, despite Judge Pamela Brooks saying at his January 2022 sentencing that “Over the years this court has read many psychosexual reports, and when I read yours, frankly, it scared me. It scared me for you, it scared me for society.”
Now that the perpetrator is an adult, The Daily Wire is no longer withholding his name: Hunter Heckel.
In October 2021, The Daily Wire broke the news that the Loudoun County school system concealed the rape while it worked to pass a policy that would allow transgender students to use the bathroom of their choice. Administrators transferred Heckel to a different school, where he sexually assaulted another girl.
In between, then-Loudoun County Schools Superintendent Scott Ziegler accused parents who objected to the bathroom policy of transphobia and denied that any rape occurred in the school bathroom.
Scott Smith, the father of Heckel’s first victim, said Biberaj did not notify his family upon the rapist’s release in November. Biberaj, who tried to prosecute Smith for confronting administrators at a school board meeting, lost to a Republican later that month.
The new Republican prosecutor, Bob Anderson, has since hired several people who stood up for the victims, including a lawyer who worked with the families and one who worked for the state to prosecute Ziegler for impeding a special grand jury investigation into the rape coverup.
Smith said after Heckel raped his daughter, Biberaj extended a plea deal for lesser charges, over his objections, that would have “made it seem like a minor thing.”
“They were trying to push through a BS plea bargain with no consequence. We were told there was nothing we could do about it, and a couple weeks later he did it again.” Smith told The Daily Wire. “If he hadn’t done it again, they were going to push us off a cliff.”
Biberaj took a harsher position against Smith, personally petitioning a judge for jail time even after Smith explained in court that his school board confrontation was heated because of his daughter’s sexual assault. Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R.) later pardoned Smith for his disorderly conduct conviction, sending Biberaj into a fury.
Smith—who is suing Loudoun County Public Schools after its lawyers acknowledged that it violated federal law designed to protect women—said Biberaj’s defeat at the ballot box was a bright spot in a trying time.
Smith said that he was told that Heckel has “completed his high school, he has a job, and he’s considering going to college,” just as his daughter plans to.
“He basically walked out of this scarless. Hunter got a new start yesterday. When do we get our new start?”
